Auckland Event Safety Check

Every vehicle has to complete a basic Safety Check before you are allowed out on the track. This is for your safety, and the safety of those around you on the track. Scrutineering will take place on Saturday Morning. Once your car has passed, you’ll receive your vehicle registration number/stickers/Wristband and you will have access to the track.

If you miss out on registration/safety check times, you will not be allowed onto the track. No exceptions and no refunds!

Here is a basic checklist that will be checked for upon entry.

NO WOF or REGO required.

Brake lights (Must be in working condition)
